A. The P1 generation is hybrid.
B. The allele for the yellow flower is dominant.
C. The allele for the yellow flower is recessive.
D. The F1 generation will have white flowers.
E. The entire F1 generation is hybrid.

Answer 1

the answer is C. hope this helped

Answer 2

OptionC, D and E

Step-by-step explanation:

The P1 generation denotes the parental generation. The genotype of two parents are PP and pp which are homozygous dominant and recessive genotype. Thus, it is clear that P1 generation is a true breeding generation.

However, the F1 generation is hybrid generation as the genotype of all the offspring is heterozygous i.e Pp.

The F1 generation will have white flowers as they have Pp genotype.

Also the allele for yellow color are recessive and hence they are not expressed in the offspring.

Hence, option C, D and E are correct
